· Work directly with developers to debug issues, review fixes, and validate builds on the equipment

· Partner with Mechanical Engineering during final phases of testing and support equipment readiness for new customer launches, including software installation and configuration on machines

· Contribute to release readiness decisions for Alpine Saws and help define plant QA KPIs and metrics

· Share operator and equipment knowledge with the QA team and act as a buddy to new team members

· Adaptability - Able to adapt to unexpected changes or new demands while working on projects or routine testing.

· Analytical - Able to discover, interpret, and communicate meaningful patterns and separate into logical components or elements, as well as understand their practical application by users of the software.

· Continuous Learning - Actively identify new areas for learning; regularly create and take advantage of learning opportunities; use newly gained knowledge and skill on the job and learn through their application.

undefined

· Innovation - Generate innovative solutions in work situations; try different and novel ways to deal with work problems and opportunities.
